About

I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"THE GREATEST MAN WHO EVER LIVED" BY DAVID MCMILLEN

WHO IS THE GREATEST MAN WHO EVER LIVED? THAT'S RIGHT, IT IS JESUS. THE WONDERFUL THING IS THAT HE IS STILL ALIVE TODAY. WHAT OTHER RELIGION CAN SAY THAT ABOUT THEIR GOD. DO YOU KNOW WHO JESUS SAYS IS THE GREATEST? HE SAYS WE ARE WHO ARE BORN AGAIN. THAT'S RIGHT, WE ARE. THAT IS WHAT HE SAYS IN MATTHEW 11:11 "Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he." DO YOU FEEL THAT GREAT?

IT IS HARD FOR US TO UNDERSTAND WHERE WE STAND IN THE EYES OF GOD. IF WE COULD JUST GET A REALIZATION OF THIS, OUR LIFE WOULD BE SO MUCH BETTER. WE GO AROUND TRYING TO DO GOOD THINGS TO EARN GOD'S RESPECT, AND THAT IS GOOD, BUT IT IS NOT NECESSARY. GOD SEES US THROUGH JESUS AND THERE IS NOTHING JESUS NEEDS TO DO TO EARN RESPECT. IS JESUS PERFECT? YOU KNOW HE IS. ARE WE PERFECT? IN GOD'S EYES WE ARE. 1ST JOHN 4:17 TELLS US THIS. "Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world." THIS DOESN'T SAY WHEN WE GET TO HEAVEN, IT SAYS "IN THIS WORLD".

WHEN WE DO THINGS TO TRY TO BECOME MORE RIGHTEOUS, WE ARE SAYING THAT JESUS DIDN'T DO ENOUGH. OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS IS LIKE FILTHY RAGS TO GOD. DON'T BELIEVE ME? LOOK WHAT IT SAYS IN ISAIAH 64:6 "But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away."

WE NEED TO LIVE AS BEST AS WE CAN AND OBEY GOD'S COMMANDMENTS. STUDY THE WORD AND LEARN ALL YOU CAN ABOUT JESUS. THIS IS WHAT HE TELLS US IN MATTHEW 11:29 WHERE HE SAYS "LEARN OF ME". IF WE ARE LIKE JESUS, LET'S START ACTING LIKE IT. LET'S TRY TO LIVE UP TO BEING AS GREAT AS HE SAYS WE ARE. HE SAID IT SO LET'S START BELIEVING IT.
